Here it's my notes: 0:23 The Law of Least Effort "When I'm stuck for one moment, I leave it and do something else. With this method, to work on different things simultaneously, I never encounter any mental blockages." -Niklas Luhman Basically means in the first part, If we're not good enough at focusing on one thing, then it's best to take a break and do something else. As a result of this break, we increase our chances of being more productive when we return to what I was dealing with. 2:37 Distributed Practice Reading something in a book goes from short-term memory to long-term memory and two things need to happen for this. 1)Concepts need to be memorable (Which means need to be a naturally interesting subject to learn) 2)Concepts repeated again and again In those techniques known Spaced repetition takes time and so... In this part, he is telling us about "Shortform" apps for book summaries. Giving summary books and saving time... 5:12 Attack from Multiple Angles The point I understand here is that if you do extra research on the concepts in the subject -depending on your curiosity- while reading a book, watching a documentary, or doing research, you will get better efficiency and speed up the learning process. And so because there is so much to explore, new connections will form in your brain and this will affect the learning process. I totally agree with this and think it should be done. 7:04 Read Consciously and Deliberately (Important!!) The point I understand here is that the brain is just like a muscle, as you work on it, it develops, and your learning capacity increases. That's why you should make it a life philosophy and do it continuously, not just for a week, for example. As a result, you will find that it is more useful. Again, an important point here is that we have to deal with whatever we are interested in, otherwise this situation will turn into torture beyond the pleasure of learning and make this process unbearable. 8:45 Reflection Boosting When you close the book while reading something, think for 1-2 minutes and test what you read and what you learned from it, what you know before and what you have learned now will be combined, and this will accelerate the learning process. The important point here points to the importance given to thinking. Are you reading a book? After 1-2 pages, close the book and think about what you have learned. 10:04 Create Searchable Notes Take note! I think taking notes is the majority of this learning. You can speed up this process if you take notes on what you read. Also, having the notes accessible and searchable will make this work even easier. So you will have immediate access to your previous work. Notion is truly a lifesaver, as I use it here.

The fact that I can watch educational videos the whole day and can't even study for 20 minutes 😭😭

Highly Recommended Channel

Appreciable 🌹

After having a library of over 120 great videos(after filtering) on learning effectively and efficiently from top gurus on productivity and learning like Thomas Frank, u, and Ali Abdaal, this is by far one of the top 10 videos that I would recommend (and I evaluate content objectively btw, so this is not emotional). Keep going man! Just please keep away pictures of girls, cauze sometimes you bring some scenes like that. I am from Sudan, and of course, you know the Islamic countries has reservations on this. So, pleeeeeeeeeeeease do that, because I'm recommending Ali Abdaal and Thomas Frank channels on my Fb, and I do want to recommend your channel(and I have been following it for a fairly long time now, like almost a year) . You are inspiring students and people all around the around to be more productive in their learning and life in general.

You have helped me so much omg! You always hand out amazing new facts for us to learn and implement about with, I have a question, how do find this new information? Where do you find this stuff to show us? :O Thanks!

Road to 1 million !

Please can you create a video of how to discover you reading skills?

In the last video about speed learning you mentioned the FAST method in which F stands for Forget which means pretending not to have any knowledge about the subject you are reading, as far as I remember xD, and that sounded logical to me cause this way you will be able to eliminate stereotypes, distractive and non coherent ideas that you might have had, especially when it comes to topics on which you have superficial knwledge.. But now the reflection boosting part is kinda confusing me cause it seems to me that it contradicts all of the above. Is there a way to utilize both techniques or it is just a different context ?

You're my role model

I wish they taught this is school... It is so ironical they take exams for testing our knowledge but don't tell how to remember and retain that!!!! Thats why many students just learn a particular topic for the exams and then forget after a few days... that is not that useful,is it?

What if you're in boarding with no internet what can you do?

Woah I’m early

How does a person maintain retention while reading? You make it sound easy but if you're easily distracted, it is difficult to achieve. Please ellaborate

Hahaha what a coincidence my exam is coming a week later

Missing those school days who are agree

But it's in the kitchen. ...... I mean the old studio.........!!

First plz pin

no books and teacher can teach thinking and orginality of intelligence,and non nationalist character ....... actual thing that happen in genius
